16610 lv

Hi guys,

Look at this reference for this green sub 2007.

This should be 16610lv instead of 16610t right?

.

A 16610lv is also a 16610T.

16610T is the complete ref# of 16610 cases without lug holes.

All 16610's with non-through lugs have 16610 T on the case. The T is for "Trou", French for hole, referencing the blind-hole.

A 16610LV will never have LV anywhere on the case; they are all 16610 models with only the cosmetic dial, bezel, and hands to differentiate them

And to be even more complete, “Trou borgne” is due to one hole on the internal lug side, while the external side has no lug hole, like a “borgne” (one-eyed person in French)

If you want the real deal the warranty card will say 16610lv on it.

Not in all countries many countries just LV on the green plastic bar-code tag, and no other way to determine a genuine LV from a franken normal 16610 made into a LV unless a serial check with Rolex. .

Most all Rolex oyster watches with non lug hole cases will have the T after model ref.

Padi you are right. I think it's like the DS blue. Some cards will list blue and ref # and others just the Ref #. Thanks for setting the record straight.
